Between this year and and last in your I think discipline I think is simply just the discipline I think that we have we’ve done a great job especially early in the year I think Mike Conley’s a huge um part of it as well with his veteran leadership

Just you know um just having that discipline you know games we’re finding different ways to win a lot of different games you know where it’s not always just you know cookie cut or clean cut you know we’re finding different ways in the fourth quarter to win third quarter

To win our defense has stepped up I think our defense has stepping up this year has helped us win a lot more games when you’re referring to Conley are you referring to bite B Carl Anthony towns is that you’re referring to Mike m bik bite yeah he’s Mike Conley special man
